This is a competition for favorite internet station, as voted on by listeners. The catch, though, is that you can't simply write in any station you happen to like; the station must register to be among those presented as choices. The station must also post a voting button on its own web site.

===========================================
There are only 98 stations registered for this year's competition, but I notice some big ones there, including one of my favorites, Radio Caroline. This number is up from last year's 80 registered stations; of that 80, only 32 actually competed. The winner of the Internet Radio Station of the Year for 2009 was Purple Radio, which features a variety of deejays playing an eclectic mix of sounds (including the obscure and strange) -- reminds me of WFMU, except that the latter is a long-established over-the-air broadcaster whereas Purple Radio is Internet-only.
In addition to the Internet Station of the Year award, there are separately voted genre awards. The winners in the current genre competition will be announced May 10.
Internet radio awards are a great idea, and my hat's off to the Carter Group folks for coming up with some. I hope that more radio stations register and enter the competition in years to come. We the fans of Internet radio can help in this by making our favorite stations aware of the awards and urging them to participate.
